The Icelandic Psychological Association has prepared a test. They call it a sensitivity assessment -- a way of measuring a person's empathy and identifying the potential for anti-social behaviour.

In a few days' time, Iceland will vote on whether to make the test compulsory for every citizen. The nation is bitterly divided. Some believe the test makes society safer; others decry it as a violation.

As the referendum draws closer, four people - Vetur, Eyja, Tristan and Ólafur - find themselves caught in the teeth of the debate. Each of them will have to reckon with uncomfortable questions: Where do the rights of society end and the rights of the individual begin? When does utopia become dystopia?

No matter which side wins, they will all have to find a way to live with the result.

The narration was hurried and did not do justice to the story. Perhaps it was intentional but it lacked engagement and passion. It meant the story was flatter than the author probably intended. There was a curious misuse of “for all intensive purposes” throughout the narration of Tristan which was jarring, particularly as there was a whole paragraph on the subject between his mother and the teacher. Not sure if was a narration error or deliberate but it was odd. I would recommend reading it not listening.

Interesting premise, soulless narration
